That IS a beautiful gunblade. But along with it, I'd love to see primal weapons that haven't been released yet -- ifrit, shiva, ramuh.. you can totally skip titan ;)

I also think we need smaller gunblades as well. They're suppose to be a revolver and sword combined so they should be sized to be held one handed. The relic Crownsblade looks like it's got ridiculous .50 cal bullets in the cylinder.

I do hope we get that one (it was also used by Regula van Hydrus back in Heavensward) and the Heirsbane we see Gaius and assorted other Garleans use. I know we were preached how the gunblades we wield are a more pure historical form compared to the Garlean "basically a long bayonet attached to a gun barrel", but seeing how the first gunblade we're given after the speech also has a gun barrel running up the blade, I think we can interpret that the versions we use happen to work like all our other gunblades.
Well as I just previously posted, we don't actually shoot bullets with our gunblades like the Garlean versions do. Player and Hrothgar gunblades use the same system that the FF8 ones do where it's basically we use magic bullets to enhance our blade during swipes, so it doesn't really matter what size they are seeing how they don't actually get shot at anything.
If these bullets are still exploding in the chamber, then they still produce recoil and vibration, which is the point of the gunblade. And if your detonating .50 bullets, you're in for some serious recoil, especially if the gunblade itself is producing an explosion right in front of you. Remember, this is a 1 handed weapon.
